Sources Accidents Cleanups When it comes to mixing oil and water, oceans suffer from far more than an occasional devastating spill. Disasters make headlines, but hundreds of millions of gallons of oil quietly end up in the seas every year, mostly from non-accidental sources The graph below shows how many millions of gallons of oil each source puts into the oceans worldwide each year Down the Drain: 363 Million Gallons Used engine oil can end up in waterways. An average oil change uses five quarts; one change can contaminate a million gallons of fresh water. Much oil in runoff from land and municipal and industrial wastes ends up in the oceans. 363 million gallons Road runoff adds up Every year oily road runoff from a city of 5 million could contain as much oil as one large tanker spill Routine Maintenance: 137 Million Gallons Every year, bilge cleaning and other ship operations release millions of gallons of oil into navigable waters, in thousands of discharges of just a few gallons each. 137 million gallons

Marine Pollution One This "buoy" will help you navigate through the causes, effects, and responses to oil pollution, toxic contaminants, marine debris, and ocean mining and dumping. Each of the four sides of this buoy marks the course through oceans in peril. OIL POLLUTION Sources and effects of oil in the oceans When it comes to mixing oil and water, oceans suffer from far more than an occasional devastating spill. Only about 5 percent of oil pollution in the oceans is due to major tanker accidents. TOXIC MATERIALS Metals and slowly degrading chemicals threaten inland and coastal waters Industrial, agricultural, household cleaning, gardening, and automotive products regularly end up in coastal waters. DANGEROUS DEBRIS Trash can kill When odds and ends of life on land particularly plasticsend up in the sea, they can harm marine life when they are mistaken as food or entangle animals. Coastal mining booms could lead to ecological problems Not only are the oceans used as dumping grounds, but they have recently become the source for materials that by their removal, could have serious consequences

The New England Light Pollution Advisory Group The New England Light Pollution Advisory Group (NELPAG) A big role of NELPAG has been providing information through this Website since early 1995, with hundreds of accesses to this page being logged every week for the past couple of years (as of August 1997, we counted more than 47,000 accesses to this page; our best week so far was the one ending 1997 May 4, when 766 accesses to this page were recorded in that week alone). [As of August 1999, we are still getting 400-600 accesses per week, with over 100,000 estimated accesses to these NELPAG web pages since 1995.] We have found that there is a great public demand for information on outdoor-lighting issues, and that there has been unfortunately a great dearth of sources that the interested individual can seek out. It should not be surprising, then, that we have received high praise from many people around the world for the information provided here. Imagine children growing up without being allowed to see trees or birds (or any other aspect of nature): now, how is this any different from preventing our children from seeing the stars?! But by our thoughtless erection of outdoor lights everywhere - without consideration of glare and light trespass, without consideration of safety, without consideration of the right to privacy, and without consideration of the energy waste and the waste of taxpayer dollars - we are making it so that a very small percentage of children are able to grow up in the world today with the ability to see and ponder the wonders of our beautiful starry night sky. Indeed, after a full century now of outdoor electrical lighting, one must wonder what a lot of the lighting manufacturers and installers were

Pollution From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The Lachine Canal , in Montreal , is badly polluted Water pollution Air pollution Pumping of highly toxic (dark black) sludge, much seeps back into the ocean in the form of tiny particles Early Soviet poster: The smoke of chimneys is the breath of Soviet Russia Pollution is the release of harmful environmental contaminants, or the substances so released. Generally the process needs to result from human activity to be regarded as pollution. Even relatively benign products of human activity are liable to be regarded as pollution, if they precipitate negative effects later on. The nitrogen oxides produced by industry are often referred to as pollution, for example, although the substances themselves are not harmful. In fact, it is solar energy (sunlight) that converts these compounds to smog Pollution can take two major forms: local pollution and global pollution. In the past, only local pollution was thought to be a problem. For example, coal burning produces smoke , which in sufficient concentrations can be a health hazard. One slogan, taught in schools, was "The solution to pollution is dilution." The theory was that sufficiently diluted pollution could cause no damage. In recent decades, awareness has been rising that some forms of pollution pose a global problem. For example, human activity (primarily
